There has been a little boom-or-bust in Luck’s first action in some time. He’s unleashed more turnover-worthy passes (four) than he has big-time throws (three) in two games.

There has been a noticeable change to Luck’s game now that he’s playing under new head coach Frank Reich. The offensive gameplan calls for Luck to get the ball out quickly while leaning on short passes on designed-open first reads.

This has led to Luck changing his game from the air-it-out quarterback most are expecting to see. Though the first two games, his 5.9 yards-per-attempt is the lowest mark of his career. There’s a chance that can rise significantly, but looking at the game planning through two weeks, it doesn’t seem like Luck will revert back to his past ways.

However, he’s still getting the job done. Aside from a few ill-advised interceptions in the red zone through two weeks, Luck has looked revitalized in Reich’s new scheme. The offense is efficient, and Luck looks healthy throwing the football.

No one knows how the Colts or Luck will do by season’s end, but he seems to be working his way back to being among the top quarterbacks in the league after missing all of 2017.
